Carpal Tunnel Syndrome often requires surgical intervention known as Carpal Tunnel Release. This condition occurs due to pressure on the median nerve in the wrist, leading to pain and numbness in the hand.
The carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway in the wrist through which the median nerve travels. Its small size makes it prone to compression from swelling, causing discomfort. The carpal ligament, located just beneath the skin, forms the roof of this tunnel.
